Professional :: Create US Map With Dynamic Integrated Data?
Nov 30, 2010
I am trying to create an interactive US map (unless one is already out there), that would show some data about the state a user would hover over. Then drill down once the user clicks on the State to see cities, where the user would see City-specific data when hovering over a city... etc.BTW. This data is not static... it is based on queries from a DBase (i.e. MS Access). So, depending on what's happening in that region, the data would be entered in the DBase and the Map would reflect those changes...
I am new to Flash and was wondering if it was, at all,possible to load a webpage into flash? I want to load my HTML sitesonto my flash stage. Would it work the same as loading a picture using the loader component?
I started to develop my first flash web site. I use to import pictures into the stage, so far I only use jpegs. I am wondering, after I will have finished my fla and export to swf, will these source picture still be useful when I will upload the site to my ftp? Or will they be part of the swf?
I want to put a link onto a *.fla file. I can see the "getURL" command (screenshot from my German Flash CS4),but unfortunately, I do not understand how and where I have to insert this command.
Right now I'm designing an application for smartphones and tablet. What I am interested to know is whether I can integrate specific functions. These app would include:
1 The automatic screen rotation 2 Scroll page (in particular pages I will have a list of which need scrolling)3 will have many pages and would require a small search engine
Is it possible to create a dynamic xml file which changes in some fields to populate an advanced data grid?I have to display continents, countries, society and its values but i want to change randomly only the value and not all toegether...The client side application call the database by an asynchronous httpservice.LCDS, Blaze or similar are not allowed.
I would like to create a simple slideshow for my Web site that is populated with images from a database. All I want it to do is pull the 6 most recent photos using ColdFusion, fade from one image to the next and loop.
I am doing a project that consists of AS3 in flash an importing an external xml data that will populate dynamic data in text fields in my flash project. The xml is all ready set up (pre existing) data. The structure of the XML Code looks like this:
<GlobalDynamicData xmlns:xsi"[URL]"> <schema version 1.0.0>version 1</schemaversion> <DynamicDataFields> <DynamicDataField> <DataField> AlertOn</DataField> <DataValue>0</DataValue [Code] ..... which works fine,
My question to everyone is How do tell flash to pull specific dynamic data if all the datafields are exactly the same... I would think all data fields that are named have to be diffrent so when you script the code you are telling flash to go to that data source and pull from that record. If you have the same naming convention how does flash know which one to pull from if they all have the same name..
I am a complete newbie to Flash. I'm tyring to build a scrolling text box that automatically scrolls. On mouse over, I want the scrolling to stop so users can click on an item in the text box. All of the items will be tied to external hyperlinks. I want to populate the text box with an external file. I've done some searches on Adobe, but haven't found anything that takes me through the whole process.I have the complete Adobe Master Collection. So if this is easier in Flash Catalyst, let me know. I know how to buid a manual scroll box in Flash Catalyst. Could I export this to and add the auto-scrolling?
I would like to create a dynamic 3 layer image that can have any of the 3 layers changed. i was thinking of doing this with alpha mapping where I have a back, middle, and front layer each defined by an alpha map. So if the style or shape of these changed I just render the texture with a new alpha map to define what portion actually takes the texture. So for each of the 3 layers there is a type(defines the shape), the texture which is applied to the shape, and an alpha map that is used to specify how the shape takes the image.
Imagine a fruit basket that can have the fruit switched out or the basket, and any combination of textures applied. You could potentially see the inside of the basket which may have a different texture than the outside. The fruit would all be one image that would then fit into the basket, and finally the basket would render. Then if you swap the color of the basket but keep the same model it would update, and you could then swap the model of the basket and keep the same color. But i'd want to do it where I have 1 texture that can fit over all the baskets but is just chopped off using alpha mapping.
I'm relatively new to flex, and I'm developing a web app that needs to plot relatively large data sets (e.g. 20,000 pts divided among 8 separate curves) in a line chart. Flex built-in chart components render too slowly.Would javascript line chart render faster than Flex line chart? If so, is it possible to use a javascript-based charting solution instead of flex component, within the Flex application? Or, is this an impractical (or crazy) idea? Anyone doing this out there? How simple or complex is it?I'm hoping it's relatively easy to integrate a pre-developed solution like EST JS, HighCharts, etc. to simplify development.
i am loading in 5 PNGs via MovieClipLoader, and putting them ontop of a circle. Then when i press a button i want the images to fade sequentially and each circle to fade to 20%,40%,60%,80%,100% sequentially and have got the following code to do that. (Using Zigos tween engine):
[Code]...
This is just a small part of a bigger site and when tested by itself works just as expected, however when i try to put this code into the rest of the code, the images and circles fade to the desired amount but when it is reached they immediately pop back to 100 and i cannot see why. I have looked at all the setIntervals but they seem to all have stopped at that point.
I started learning Flash when Flash MX came out. I recently got back into it, using Flash 8 now. So the Tween class was fairly new and exciting to me, and I've been using it recently.It's quick and easy, and what I like most about it is the onMotionFinished function. Very handy.
However, I've been using it for single items, and recently I wrote a little function where some words drop down, and when they arrive at their random destination they check each other for distance, 12 of them. If one's proximity is too close to another, it loads up the tween function again and finds another random destination, and does so until it finds a space far enough from it's siblings.
Now when using the built in Tween class, it gets absolutely overloaded and crashes my Core Duo if all the words don't find spaces soon, and have to do multiple checks.I was very, very surprised, it didn't seem like anything that hardcore, that should crash my computer.
So I then used a basic, lightweight tween that I wrote, and voila - no problem at all. Didn't even come close to crashing, in fact the CPU usage was fairly low.So im summary - it's pretty good and handy for tweening single objects, but if you have something more complex in mind it's absolutely useless.My question is why though? I mean they write the program, sure they could have engineered the tween class better and made it more efficient and less of a CPU hog?
Currently I'm accepting payments from my website via PayPal. As it stands the user is redirected to PayPal where they can complete the purchase. I think I might have a better conversion rate if customers can enter there credit/debit details directly onto my website. So the question is how could I integrate a PayPal payment into my Flash ?
I have a flex app that allows the user to upload a file.The flex side uses the FileReference.upload method that goes to an .aspx page that handles the upload. It works only intermittently when I have IIS set to integrated windows authentication.That said, for testing purposes,I wrote a separate aspx page that does a file upload and this always works.I'd like to leverage the file import,though, within the nice looking flex app and not kick off a new webpage for a file upload.In looking at the IIS logs I have a hypothesis as to what's happening, and want to know if someone has full understanding as to why it may only intermittently work and can confirm or deny this: Flex' FileReference upload guts does whatever it does on the client then initiates a POST request to my .aspx page.On the times it failes, the IIS logs state that IE didn't pass the credentials so denies the request then sends a 401 response.
I don't get this 401 response on the flex side even though I'm listening for HTTP status codes (flash bug?).A new request is somehow immediately made to perform the upload again (it's not my code). I'm inferring this by looking at the IIS lgos which shows a second POST right after the previous one, only this time the user credentials are sent through, but the kicker is that the file the user uploaded is not uploaded this time. I infer this by the fact that the IIS logs show 0 bytes are posted, whereas the previous 401 request show a lot of bytes are POSTed.On the times it does work, what happens is that the first request for the HTTP POST the FileReference makes so happens to send the windows credentials along, so the client is not challenged.
We are trying to install our Adobe Flash Media Interactive Server. The problem we are facing is that Apache which comes with FMS is set to be run from /home/Apache2.2.21_x64 for some odd reason. Even though we install whole FMS to /opt/adobe/fms folder Apache still has /home/Apache2.2.21_x64 everywhere compilled in. Is there a way to change Apache root folder?
I'm running into an issue with Uploadify. I have put Uploadify into my app and all works fine in dev (using the VS web server). All worked fine and checked until I deployed the app into my test environment which uses Integrated Windows Authentication. When I actually go to upload the file, the browser brings up a login prompt. At this point, even if you type in the correct username and password, the request seems not to complete and even if you tell the browser to remember the password it still brings up the login prompt.
When this started to occur, I decided to spin up Fiddler and see what was going on. But guess what, when ever Fiddler is running the issue doesn't occur. Unfortunately I can't make running Fiddler a reuqierment for running the app. I know there are some issues with Uploadify/flash when using forms authentication but I didn't think they carried across to Integrated Windows Authentication.
Ok i am a total n00b to Flash MX, and i made the trailing mouse text thing, and im wondering wether i cood use it on my HTML site or do i have 2 make a flash site? if i can use it in my HTML site how do i intergrate it? I no this might sound lyk a really stupid question but im a n00b

Is it possible to pull questions from a data file into flash without having to create new frames for every question. This would be a multiple choice test. We currently hand type the questions into multiple frames and grade at the end.
I got a music portfolio web site running PHP, MySQL and Flash. There's a page showing all the artists my client worked for and when you click on a song title, this title is passed as a variable to a PHP page then to a Flash page. The Flash page contains an actionscript music player which then looks for the right audio file in the database and plays the song. Everything works great except for the dynamic text field which displays the song title. If the song title contains an apostrophe or a single quote, the Flash dynamic text field then shows the apostrophe.[code]
I have to populate an Advanced Data Grid which have the following fields: Continent->State->Society-->Actual Value-->Estimate Value I want to simulate a financial market so i have to change some of the values by asynchronous request from an HTTPService; If necessary i'll post the .as file, but it is generated automatically by Flex Builder.
Here's the code of the client side Flex/Air application:
I have 2 input textfields on the stage and 1 dynamic textfield.
-input1 is for quantity
-input2 is for page count
When a user enters a number into the page count it makes a calculation and places the outcome into the dynamic textfield. This textfield is for the individual price.All of this so far works. What I want to do now is create another dynamic textfield for the total. So the individual price is multiplied by the quantity and this result is put in the new dynamic text field. I have the code for that working but here is where it gets tricky (for me anyway).The total price is to start off invisible. When I roll over the individual price the total price is to appear (For a test lets just say when I roll over an area the total price appears).To stop cursor flickering this should be done inside a movieclip. So... I have create a movieclip and placed a dynamic textfield inside it. They all have instance names BUT how do I reference it in script?I need to tell the resulting calculation to be placed inside the textfield which is inside the movieclip. If it isn't inside a movie clip I can do it. But how to I reference it when inside one?
I have a site with an SWF that I can put some metrics into, such as ZIP Code, Weight, etc.. then, it takes that info and gives me shipping rates.
I need to build a front-end site that I can have a forms page that will push data to the backend SWF, and then return the data back from the SWF to the front end.
I'm trying to create a flash program that uses it's own code to send and create images. Each square has a colour and that colour gets added into the array. A black, then grey, then white is:
filecode = ["Bl", "Gr", "Wh"];
That works fine, but when I try to paste it into an Input text box it will only fill in the first part of the array.
filecode = ["Bl,Gr,Wh"];
So the program has NO idea what I want.The only ways I can think of fixing this is by putting in 402 text boxes to suit every box...But every one of them needs a Variable Name.Or by sending the information straight into the array. But this way you are just looking at what you just drew, and that is not at ALL practical.
